CYBER MONDAY 2017: EMMA, DEALS, EMMA

Although there's no awards for Cyber Monday 2017 (it's the poor relation of Black Friday, right?), I couldn't let it pass without a few words about the day (+8 hours) and those who helped make it what it was.

Once again, @AnthonySmith, @Clouvider and @VMHaus came out all guns blazing with cheap yearlies, multipliers on credit and maybe the most insane deal on a high-end dedicated server LET will ever see (cheers Dom!). This trio set the tone on both days, and I doubt the madness that followed would have happened without them.

There was support for the next few hours from a number of providers, but special shout-outs need to go to @DavidGestionDBI (who sells a yearly VPS that cheap?), @Ishaq (KVM yearlies everywhere), @Gleert (for being a good sport after being dragged from his own thread) and @Cam, who I'm fairly sure has a poor understanding of business due to all the stuff he gave away for free.

@Virmach then followed up, delivering one of the craziest deals of the weekend with the Deadpool Special before unleashing some masterfully savage trolling that had half of the thread shitting in their pants and the other half laughing uncontrollably. We also had @AlexBarakov doing deals on literally everything you can think, @Abdullah back with more of his popular KVM specials and we saw a brief (but sweet) cameo from @Cociu.

When things started to slow, our hero came from an unexpected place; @MCHPhil, representing the USA, who started cutting increasingly insane customs, including the epic 5/5/5 and 7/7/7 plans, sticking with the madness for hours whilst ably assisted by @Mikho with NAT stuff all over the place. Without this pair, Cyber Monday wouldn't have died an untimely early death, and we salute you.

Whether you got a mention above or not, providers, you have our love and our gratitude (not to mention our money) for enabling all this lunacy. Thank you.

Of course, it takes two to tango, and the community played it's part, joining in the CAPS fest and taking Emma into their hearts like a SecureDragon Black Friday special. Far too many people got involved for me to call out everyone, but I thank you all for embracing the randomness of it all and getting involved.

Finally, a shout-out to my partners-in-crime across both days, @Harambe (in his second year) and @WSS (who fired up the generator in the middle of a power cut to be involved), who stood alongside me the whole time. Couldn't have done it without you, gents.

So I think that's it, thanks for indulging me and reading to the end. I'll leave the last word to you-know-who...

GOODNIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS!

    Our first Black Friday & Cyber Monday. We had a lot of fun, made some good deals. Once again thank you for making the chaos as managed as possible. Look's like we may need to send you a Christmas card!

    Not to be forgotten (although I did :-0 ), thank you to the LET moderators who just let us get on with things. Your continued tolerance is appreciated :-)

    You came out of the gate firing, even with just the one location and a half-finished panel. That's what LET is about!

  • Also first BF for me. See you next year!!!

    Our devs are working as fast as they can! We just had to say goodbye to Virtualizor & WHMCS for this. New location & panel upgrades coming soon(tm)

    I can just imagine trying to explain that to the missus....

    'No, honestly a bunch of guys on a forum bought it for me to thank me for posting entirely in caps for two days instead of working'

  • @Nekki show your true love for @cociu

    THIS. I laughed so much.

    Do you just want to watch or do you want to get involved?

  • mikhomikho Member, Host Rep

    This Black Friday and Cyber Monday was my first as a Provider, only served NAT servers for ~4 months. Loving it so far !!

    This year I not only sold stuff, I also bought stuff that will allow me to add more locations to my portfolio. One has been long waited for and I will do everything in my powers to have it ready as soon as possible. The ones who followed the last few pages of Cyber Monday thread knows what location I'm talking about. Norway!

    I promise you this, there will be bundles, there will be promos.
    Shameless plug: follow on Twitter for special deals, I need some followers. pretty please with tentacles on top....

    Not only was Norway added, one other location is ready and there is at least one more country where I try to get space in.

    In @Nekki we trust to bring order thru chaos on LET!

    Thank you all

  • Can't we repeat this on every friday & monday?

    There aren't enough keyboards in the world to support this aim.

    I respect that. Nothing wrong with saving it in the wankbank for later.

  • Also, this was the greatest Emma gif of the weekend:

    Consider this fair warning, do not seek the source of this gif. It totally ruins the magic.

  • Oh look @Nekki made another thread. Lucille is getting mighty thirsty today.

  • Thank you again, @Nekki

    Thanked by 2Nekki MCHPhil
  • THANK YOU @Nekki and all providers for an awesome weekend! had to skip cyber monday due to work but was still able to pickup a @Virmach deal :)

    @Nekki @WSS It's been an honor to shitpost and bully providers into deals alongside the best in the game.

    I think we need to do this at least twice a year, it's way too fun. Once a year isn't enough and quarterly is probably too often. Perhaps we convert Memorial Day (May long weekend - look's like it's the 'spring bank holiday' in the UK) into May LET Weekend. Almost exactly 6 months before/after BF/CM as well.

    Thanked by 3WSS Nekki nullnothere
